    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 general-purpose server offering 48 vCPUs, 192 GB RAM, and local storage for balanced multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D48_v3 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv3 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an x86_64 Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor featuring 24 physical cores and 48 vCPUs at 2.3 GHz, alongside 192.0 GB of RAM and 1229 GB of local storage. While single-core benchmarks, such as Geekbench and stress-ng single-core tests, fall into the bottom 10%, the server delivers average multi-core performance across PassMark, Geekbench, and stress-ng multi-core suites. Memory bandwidth and database operations also align with the middle 50% benchmark tier. Due to the contrast between weak single-threaded execution and average multi-threaded capacity, this server is best suited for parallelized workloads, including database operations, static web serving, and software compilation, rather than single-threaded or intensive LLM text generation tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.25Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
